Who made my art? January 11, 2011 8:08 AMSubscribe
I need help reading the name of the artist on twopieces of artwork I inherited from my Japanese step-grandmother.
The first is a (woodblock?) print and the second is (I think) an ivory netsuke. There are other pictures on my Flickr account if I have positioned the netsuke in the wrong direction to read.
a. print's either done by a ~gawa ~shin or a ~gawa ~nobu (with the ~ being characters I failed to read)
b. netsuke's proper orientation is http://www.flickr.com/photos/25568610@N06/5345900937/in/photostream/ This one is ~yama
You'll probably need a native speaker for this one... signatures can obviously differ greatly from conventional structure posted by MangyCarface at 9:28 AM on January 11, 2011
